When I saw this one cardinal image, I immediately went back in my memories to how much my mother loved birds and collected bird ornaments for our Christmas Tree. I decided to use one of the cardinal images in two projects this week. First a suspended glass ornament!

I sized the image in Powerpoint, and printed it on acetate. To color it, I used sharpies and some marvy waterbased markers. I used some jewelry filament to suspend it in the ornament and added some snow glitter to the ornament as well.

My second project is so fun...and the options are limitless (almost!) I used grafix rubonz to create my own rubons from printed images! Very easy to follow instructions....I printed the image on the sheet as directed and colored with Bic markits. After applying the adhesive sheet, i was able to rub it right on this glass ornament!

These images are so perfect for Christmas ornaments. I picked up the plain glass ornaments at ACMoore for $1..I need to get more!I see many gifts being made!

Lauri, I saw this thumnail in my sidebar, and I headed right over! These are beautiful ornaments!! Your altered creations are some of the best I've ever encountered, and I look forward to each and every one! Amazing, my friend!!

Okay, Lauri, you've done it now. My sister has seen your ornaments -- she loves them, of course -- and now she wants me to help her make 18 of them for Christmas this year. We are scouting for the flat glass ornaments, since the closest ACMoore is three states away.

You always come up with something creatively different. These two are such neat ideas. :)
